Hello there!

@Elisa-xm5ii 2 ай бұрын

@onthetrailwithbart523 I can confirm that the only reason Eu citizens don't buy from brands like Zpacks or the likes from outside Eu is indeed the amount of taxes: import tax which is ( for example to Finland) 2,7% only but VAT is a hefty 24% so the total of 26,7% is collected from the end price including postage (59usd for Zpack) So a pack costing say 399usd+59usd for shipping will end up costing 589usd with tax & vat which is ludicrous and makes us look elsewhere. Realise these small companies can't have side branches in Eu so we have to find other small businesses locally here making similar stuff.

Hi Erica! Thanks for sharing your pack. I’ve walked the Camino Frances already but am leaving in a few weeks to walk the Portuguese route and I’ve cut my pack in half (it’s under 5kg, was closer to 10 on previous pilgrimages and you’re absolutely right that it makes all the difference!). For this journey I also ordered your Camino journal and it arrived today. It’s gorgeous and I’m so happy to bring it with me on this trip. Thanks for all your and Ricky’s contributions in this space! Hope to see you two out on the Camino someday! Buen Camino!

@caminotellers 2 ай бұрын

Yes and yes… depending of the time of the year- for April and late September I would go for sleeping bag( if you stay in public or donation based albregues )…otherwise a sleeping liner is fine. For me must be that one as the silk ones aren’t giving me enough warmth…

@piedadmartin1899 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for your video Erica! I have 1 question: would you bring a puffer if you were walking the camino frances in may/early June? or would a sweatshirt and/or long sleeve merino shirt suffice?

@caminotellers 2 ай бұрын

Piedad! We will start in late may with French way! I choose the puffer as the multi-use instead of a jumper, as the morning can be cold and especially when you enter Galicia. The puffer I use is not a lightweight solution, especially for me as I suffer cold weather a lot!

@carmenpeguero2493 2 ай бұрын

Hello Erica, I love you and Ricky. You are both so genuine and credible. What type of health insurance do you carry when traveling? I will be doing the French Camino beginning at the end of June through August. I will be turning 71 yrs. young during my Camino, and I was wondering if you will be doing another Camino yourselves? Thanks for all the excellent tips for the Camino. Do take care of yourselves, have fun and be safe. Buen Camino!

There are only 1 or two stretches of 14 k that you wouldn’t find any water, so for these days 2,5l is more then enough. Starting early minimise the problem with temperature and the uv umbrella also helps a lot… which month are you walking?

Those pants that unzip, do they sell them to transform to knee length? At my age, I wouldn't feel comfortable in short pants. They look great on you though.

Of course Emy. Keep in mind that those zip pants was a last minute purchase from Decathlon and had to go to the kids section as the adult section would not fit me (don’t know why), that’s why the short is so short! But if you go to other brands I’m sure you can find knee length zip pants 😊

It's odd to see a European that uses an American Cottage industry backpack. I've followed the Camino Forum. People are usually REALLY resistant to Ultralite backpacking gear. I'd say at least 95% of them use heavier Osprey backpacks. Maybe it's just more expensive to order from America. And maybe it's just a cultural thing. Also, most are REALLY resistant to lightweight trail shoes. Most will opt for heavy Goretex boots.

@caminotellers 2 ай бұрын

The ordering is one problem, another one there is still no PCT or CTD culture in Europe, we do old school hiking. But thanks to videos and marketing things are shifting, many more people are aware of different options and ultralight is a Great idea to apply! Thanks for your feedback!

Hola amigos !! I put my question here because it is the your last video and in english as your audience is more u.s peolpe. I was wondering why in english the say St James in place of St Jack ? I would translate St James by San Juan in spanish and Saint Jean in french. As for Santiago we say Saint Jacques (le majeur) in french. So I don't know why they confuse San Juan with San Tiago. If someone as any clue here. Thanks✝️⛪️🙏.

Wayyyyyyyytoo much on Toiletries. you could reduce to 25% of that. SO much unnecessary kit. 🙄 Cut the soap in half. 😉Put in a plastic bag, not a plastic container. No deodorant, everyone smells, 🤣 just wash off beginning end of day with water.😇 I use just half bar soap for a long 3 month trip ( Latin America) to wash my hair and clothes. Only water to wash body. No hair shampoo. Small tube toothpaste. NO plastic containers as too bulky. No Towel. Take a flannel or hand cloth to wipe off excess water. I bring an ultralight short sleeve shirt that covers my butt. Put on after washing, it absorbs excess water and you dry off. It doubles up as an ultralight hiking shirt if temps get too hot. Sunscreen yes but High factor in small container. ...thats a start. For a 3 month trip my SPARE clothes are 1 x Rab 87gm T shirt highly breathable. 1 pair socks. 1 pair pants. That's it...!!! I wear tights with shorts over the top. as my daily hiking clothes. I can alternate which I wash when needed. If cold I put on my Over/Waterproof trousers. One Fleece, one 350gm PHD goose down jacket, One waterproof jacket...all lightweight pack small. If space left I add a Montane wind shell. Plus a 970gms tent, 800gm sleeping bag, 350gm mat, 200gm Speedster Alcohol stove set up... Backpacking light and simple with a bed on your back so you never have to rush to grab a bed with a hundred other competitors...you can pitch up anywhere on the trail if you get tired or its a top notch viewpoint for a sunrise...Freedom wild camping....PLUS the Packs Arc Haul 60 litre Pack of course...Ciao❤👍🙋‍♀
